    Ventana is over-rated. The waiter, Neil, was great. I asked for medium rare hamburger; it was well done. The pasta dish was really good. Wonderful views from the balconies.

    Our family of four all ordered different entrees. They were all excellent! Our waiter was both professional and attentive. We’re locals and are happy to have Ventana close by.

    I just don’t think you can ever go wrong at this place. We’ve been going there while on vacation for the past 12 years. Always friendly, food is always good, can’t beat the view. To assure a great experience though, probably best to make a reservation. It’s a big place and usually has available seating, but making a reservation might eliminate an unanticipated wait.

    Wonderful meal at Ventana Grill as usual. Homemade fresh tortillas, fish and chips and enchiladas specially prepared for our vegan friend. Definitely one our favorite dining experiences.

    We were visiting Pismo Beach for the day and wanted a lunch spot with a view. They seated us at the window and you had a 180 degree spectacular view of the ocean. Service was excellent. The shrimp tacos and salmon tacos (a special) were good. The atmosphere was lively but you could easily converse. All in all, just what we were looking for.

    Absolutely fantastic. Best buffet I have ever been too. So well organized and the staff is very efficient. I highly recommend the Thanksgiving Buffet. I must say the Sunday Brunch is also fabulous.
